VD is something bad, it's Diseases. iPad is a device that may or may not improve your quality of life, not disolve it. Also, I have yet to see a person use the device that hasn't actually liked it. I think if everyone used it they would like it and see how it could be beneficial to people but maybe not so much themselves as to justify the cost.

To say one hates the device or just flat out dislikes it is a lack of actually using the device. That is like all these people saying they hate the iPhone and Android is better or WinMo is better. It's really just a lack of using those devices, or they are trying to follow a certain group of people (bandwagon) and look like 'anti-establishment' individuals, and yet they fail to realize they are part of an establishment, the 'anti-nameofdevice' establishment.

The iPad is great for some, not so much for others. But to quickly knock it off as a 'Large iPod Touch' or say it's 'iCrap' is complete ignorance on your part. Especially considering you are here on a gadget blog, calling one of the most anticipated devices of the decade crap.]]>Apr 17th 2010 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/You just made Steve Jobs wince.

Never used an iPhone....hmmm im pretty sure i have used all 3 of them, and i dont like how it looks or acts, im just not one of those persons that dont like it. Yes it is a great phone, but it is not the best, and why i hate it is because it is over-rated.
Now about the iPad, you still think i nver used it? Well your wrong again. I have a iTouch, it is pretty much the same, except bigger. Now i know it has many different features, but it is practically the same, and no matter what tablet it is, my opinion is this, tablets are useless, Slate or iPad.]]>Apr 17th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/

We haven't met, but I've tried it (three times) and I don't like it. I want to like it, but I can't understand spending $500 on a product that doesn't do anything better (less actually) than my 4 year old laptop. At least my iPhone is pocketable and makes phone calls, the iPad I neither. ]]>Apr 17th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/

Not slamming engadget for the info, but the only relevant information in the article is the amount of traffic from the iPad, which really doesn't seem that significant. The comparisons to phones is completely pointless and is only included so as to inflate the significance of the .03 percent.]]>Apr 17th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/Apr 17th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/Apr 17th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/Apr 17th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/

Do you game? I'll happily put my gaming rig against your iPad.

Do you browse the internet? I'll put my 2 23" monitors + keyboard/mouse against your sub 10" touch screen. Same goes for viewing content (like watching a movie). My monitor plays back Blu-Rays at 1080p - how about your iPad. Hulu looks great BTW - how's it look on the iPad?

Multi-tasking - how's that working out for you? I rarely only have one application open. Right now it's a few tabs in Chrome, Notepad, Explorer, and Visual Studio. Media Player is streaming from Windows Home Server in the background.

Either you didn't think your statement through or you do VERY little on a computer. An iPad is fine for people who casually browse the internet. It's a great device (if you like buying content from iTunes) to watch movies. Aside from that, it's a big toy. I could reasonably do about 10% of my overall computer activities on an iPad. By the same token, about 80% of what I do can be done on a netbook. There is no comparison - the iPad just doesn't come close to doing enough things for me. ]]>Apr 17th 2010 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/

you ever think that maybe you don't have to buy movies via iTunes and can convert your own to m4v via handbrake?

i hate people who bitch about 'you gotta buy movies via itunes' when its NOT the case. sure, not many mom and pops will be doing video conversion but hell if your on this site, one would hope you'd know how to convert/transcode your own dvd/movies to such formats.

as for comparing a desktop to an iPad? really? our HP Server kills your desktop, but whats the point of comparing that; like comparing a corvette to a golf cart. and can fit your desktop into your backpack and take with you and have it last for 10 hours w/o an ac outlet? can you take your full desktop setup on a plane and use it in flight?

just saying... bad comparisons...]]>Apr 17th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/

To visit websites that do not have Flash- it is much better. Luckily, I have had little need to use my laptop since owning an iPad. The iPad is so fast with regards to browsing the web, that it matters little that it does not multitask. Speed and user experience (tablet goes where ever) being a step back on the laptop.

No need to worry about malware or antivirus programs slowing your machine. Solely for the e-reader functions alone, the iPad is worth the price]]>Apr 17th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/report-ipad-grabbed-0-03-percent-of-all-web-traffic-in-its-firs/head on over to the Asus website and check out their netbook offerings.

2x the weight at the benefit of having a real keyboard attached to it. The pad may be a better experience until you want to reply to a forum post or an engadget blog, then you have to rummage for the keyboard (if you brought it with you), plug it in (or sync it up via bt), then you can reply. Anyway, 1.5lbs vs 2.9 lbs is jus about nothing at all. I can easily lift it with 2 fingers and my thumb.

At half the price and between over 10x to 4x the storage capacity (not to mention I can store whatever I want and recall that stored data any time I want) the weight is less than insignificant. And at half the price of the cheapest ipad? No way I can see how having a touch screen is worth that.

There are better options, and until I can interface with my computing device via my brain signals, or my eye movements, I'm not sold.

I can see the appeal, when there are people out there who are so technically not adept that they get scared by the thought of having to decide whether to install flash on their browser or not, god forbid They did and then wanted to remove it!
